I tend to see myself as a modern-day bricklayer. Possessed with the digital/creative fortitude of a man a hundred years ago that takes pleasure in mixing the mortar, stacking the elements, and does not rest until his work is not only satisfactory, but better than the last. I'm a candidate that is not a walking set of credentials, demos, and resumes, but the man who is ready to pick up the slack, commit, follow through, return overflow on intellectual investments, and flourish.
